Well I remember seeing a commercial for this show and I'm watching it right now. 30 seconds in and I've already thrown up 3 times.

They're copying american idol and also seem to have the 1 jerk, the 1 chick, and another guy. Jesus... i rather watch american idol than this thing.

I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff! Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...
